Personal statement
Caroline's PhD topic examines the intersections between education and technology, looking at students’ daily entanglements with personal and academic digital practices, and exploring their agency in such environments. She is learning the skills of an open researcher.
Caroline is also a mathematics teacher by trade, and she has become more and more interested in how to encourage and improve student’s voice and agency in Higher Education.
Caroline also teaches in the Institute for Education and across the university.

Impact
- Since 2015, Caroline has volunteered on a monthly basis at BRLSI (Bath Royal Literary and Scientific Institution), where she works with young students (13+) that are interested in pursuing a small research project in a STEM subject. The programme aims to provide opportunities which put the young person and their interests at the centre of their own learning. Through this work, she is able to share her research journey with young researchers, while also inspiring and supporting them with their own interests and improving their research skills.
- She also collaborates with The Dot Project, a charity based in Bath that works to build tech for community and social outreach, with a focus to strengthen organisations and human connections through the conscious use of educational technology.
